about

Started writing this in the car while driving. I often write without an instrument; it's very freeing. I finished it with Suzie Vinnick at my dining room table at the house I owned with Arlene Bishop on Dagmar Avenue in Toronto.

lyrics

words & music by
Blair Packham & Suzie Vinnick

Been around for long enough to know, baby
I could never ever let you go
Any thing you want I would surely do
Now I’m crying a river for you

For seven days and for seven nights, baby
Trying to see how we could make it right
Ever since you told me you and I were through
I been crying a river for you
Whoa, crying a river for you

Crying a river
A river of years
There’s enough that we could sail away
I’m drowning in these tears
Crying a river
A river for…

You and I together on this boat, baby
Trying to see just how we might stay afloat
Any storm we’d face somehow we’d pull through
Now I’m crying a river for you

Crying a river
A river of years
There’s enough that we could sail away
I’m drowning in these tears
Crying a river
Crying a river
A river of years
There’s enough that we could sail away
I’m drowning in these tears
Crying a river

Thirteen years after 2004’s “Could’ve Been King," Blair Packham returned with a collection of clever and heartfelt songs, called “Unpopular Pop.” A bit Beatle-y, with shades of Elvis Costello, Blair’s songs are undeniably all his. He made the record at home and then called on Ron Sexsmith and ex-Barenaked Ladies’ Steven Page to make vocal appearances. ... more
